Hi, you've reported several different (discrete) issues in one bug
report, and some of these I think are already reported on other bugs.

There is no 'xrandr' package anymore (even though one is present in
launchpad), so I'm moving this to xorg to be re-triaged.  However at
least some of the issues you've listed are issues in the control applet
itself (gnome-desktop specifically).

** Package changed: xrandr (Ubuntu) => gnome-desktop (Ubuntu)

** Package changed: gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Screen flicking with dual monitors in netbook remix on eeePC

Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xrandr

  When I plug in a VGA cable to my EEE PC (1000HA - dual boot windows
  xp, ubuntu netbook remix) I have problems as outlined below. I've
  tried it on two monitors, one with partial success:

  1. plugged in to 1680x1050 flatscreen monitor. Display appears with a
  resolution of 800x600. Changing the resolution through the monitor
  settings application results in both laptop and external screen
  flickering at about 2-3Hz and being unable to be read. I tried
  changing the resolution with xrandr (xrandr --output VGA1 --auto)
  which overlaid the laptop screen on to the external monitor. Trying to
  separate them (xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 caused the same
  appearance as above.

  2. VGA connection to (I think 800x600) projector. Both screen flicker
  as above at about 2-3Hz. As I was about to give a presentation I
  didn't have time to play around with it, but switched to my back up
  plan (USB on windows!).

  Let me know if any logs/outputs would be useful.
